Chapter 61: Forest Centipede (2).
TSSHH! Tsss...
The Centipede thrashed and twisted its long body violently in pain, making the ground quake and cave in due to its strength and weight.
Swish! Bang!
As the centipede was violently twisting its body, hitting the surrounding environment indiscriminately, a sudden swift and dark long object hit its temple before quickly vanishing within.
Thud...
Not long after the long object penetrated its temple, the centipede paused on its twisting. Its posture was strange as it suddenly stopped moving before finally falling toward the ground with a thud.
Ding!
[ Congratulations upon killing a Forest Centipede (Rare)!
+200 exp! ]
Seeing this, Jake loosened his grasp from the string of his wooden bow. Before again glancing toward the approaching centipedes in the distance then finally looking at his group (to check their current situation).
"Good thing, there were still no wounded in the group for the time being.
"Sigh... Those centipedes were really annoying, I couldn't hit them accurately." Jake mumbled under his breath.
Not only these centipedes were much faster than felines, but their senses and perception were also above the former by a level!
If Jake shoots an arrow at those unoccupied centipedes, there's at least a 90% chance that they will be able to evade his almost invisible attack on time!
While 9.99% is that he will miss the designated target, only leaving them a wound in the process.
Tsk!
Ehh... Weird, where is Leo?
Seeing the two dark skeletons (Playing dead on the ground in the distance), The corner of Jake's mouth inexplicable twitched before finally noticing the absence of Leo.
"Don't tell me he entered invisible again?"
...
Boom! Cl-click!
"Jake! You idiot, are you just going to stand there and watch!"
Cristina shouted, casting a buff and healing spell toward the group as she eyed the dumbfounded Jake in the distance, not knowing what was currently happening inside Jake's head.
***
Boom!
"Did you finally finish casting the skill?"
In the distance, meters away from the chaos.
As the two dark skeletons continued playing dead on the ground, the weak voice of Leo suddenly resounded behind them, almost making them jump in fear and shock.
C-clank... Clank... (Y-yes, but it will take some time to bloom ×2).
"Good, then we will wait and see its effect in a while. But for now, continue to play dead... since your current strength would not be able/enough to wound the enemy"
The weak voice of Leo again resounded inside the skeleton's ears before again vanishing after a while.
With a flicker of darkness in their eyes, the skeleton continued lying on the ground, as if nothing had happened.
...
Click! Click!
Boom!
"This wouldn't do. If we continue like this, we will be exhausted before we can kill them all." Crisanta speaks loudly while fully activating her healing skill on the wounded man beside her.
Although they could still hold on for a while, their efficiency in killing the centipedes is too slow...
Moreover, if the centipedes got seriously wounded, they would immediately borrow under the ground before again emerging with full health after minutes of resting!
Boom!
Swish! Swish!
TSSS!
"Tsk, It misses again by a few inches!" Jake clicks his tongue in annoyance as he again pulls the string of his bow with strength. Panting slightly before calmly eyeing the centipede in the distance.
As he was patiently waiting for the chance to appear, the ground beneath him suddenly trembled before another centipede emerged from the ground.
Click!
Shocked and frightened, Jake couldn't react on time, when suddenly, the two-meter-long centipede coiled/entwined around his body.
Click! Clang!
Fortunately, before the centipede tightened its coiling, a flickering and transparent shield materialized around Jake's body. Creating a sharp scraping sound as it withstands the dagger-like feet of the centipede.
"F*ck, this feels disgusting!"
Jake cursed loudly, trying to disperse the fear and dread he was currently experiencing...
Taking a deep breath to suppress his emotion, Jake took out a silver short dagger from his inventory before stabbing the body of the centipede repeatedly.
Tsss!
TSSS!!
Feeling the pain and knowing that it wouldn't be able to destroy the shield in a short time, the centipede immediately and cleverly loosened its coil before diving to the ground in an instant.
Quicking borrowing under the earth.
"D*mn, this is f*ck*ng annoying!" Jake cursed loudly upon seeing the centipede quickly vanishing under the earth, not able to stop it in time.
Gritting his teeth in anger due to not being able to get his revenge, Jake quickly pulled the string of his wooden bow. Shooting toward the centipede in the distance without caring whether it hit the centipede or not.
Swish! Swish!
Sure enough, most of the arrows shot by Jake missed. (Only a small amount of arrows managed to hit, wounding the centipedes slightly.)
...
Soon, another 2 minutes pass by.
The black arachnid summoned by Roy had already vanished due to the limit of time, only leaving him with 10 doddle army at level 20 as his guard.
Fortunately, the black arachnid managed to kill one of the centipedes earlier before vanishing, reducing the pressure and stress the group was currently experiencing in the process.
With the 4 centipedes killed by the group earlier, there were only 5 centipedes left on the enemy's side.
However, although there were only half of the enemy left, the Qi and Stamina of the group already entered the dangerous stage, causing their expression to start to turn dark and ugly.
Boom!
"D*mn this insect!" Roland panted heavily as the centipede collided with his shield, causing his feet to slide backward due to the centipede's strength and weight.
"Huff~ Shadow... Bullets!"
Seeing the chance, Sebastian fired dozens of black bullets toward the centipede, causing its body to dent as wounds began to show on its body.
TSSS!
Swish!
Thud!
Finally killing another one, Jake breathed deeply as he again pulled the string instinctively before firing toward the centipede in the distance.
...
Clank... Clank? (Heartless summoner, are you still not planning to help them?)
"Shhh... Shut up, you don't know anything. Besides that, you should focus on speeding the blooming of the seed within the enemy first!"
Leo replied in a hushed voice as he wiped the forming sweat on his forehead, extremely anxious and restless as he watched the group in the distance.
It's not that he didn't want to help the group in the distance nor he was afraid to fight the enemy. It's just that most of his skill...
Most of his skill doesn't discriminate between friends and enemies!
Other than the weak telekinesis skill... All of Leo's skills might kill the group first before killing the enemy!
Not to mention that weak telekinesis is almost not useable since he just sacrifices all of his items on the altar when he advances toward the foundation stage!
